Drugged and searched for drugs

We had low expectations for the overnight bus to Calama, approx. 10 hours. However when we got on the bus and realized it was a semi-cama, which means it´s almost a bed, our hopes were lifted. AN hour after leaving, so roughly 11:30 pm i popped the simply sleep medicine and steph her dramamine and we drifted off into sweet bus slumber. Unfortunately this didn´t last long when somewhere early in the morning we awoke to the bus conductor shaking usto wake us up and getting off the bus to have our purse and camera bags searched. not just us of course, but the whole bus. I had just fallen asleep so i had no idea what was happening. My fear after the fact was that I would be so out of it that if they asked me if i had drugs i´d say yes. haha being as incoherent and sleep drugged as i was. fortunately this did not happen. Now it would have sucked if this were the one time it happened. But unfortunately there was a second search, this one somewhere around 4am i imagine, and this one much much worse. Poor Steph had to shake me and get me off the bus. I was even more out of it this time but awake enough to be really really pissd. NOt to mention at the second stop we had to take out our suitcases from under the bus and have them searched. They even took the lens cap off my camera! though i´m sure in my sleepy state and angry scowl i probably didn´t look to legit. haha But the funniest was Steph . As out of it as i was i did manage to get my suitcase, unlock it and have it open and ready to go for the police. As did everyone else, everyone except for Steph. SHe just stood beside me and left her suitcase, the lone suitcase, standing in front of the bus. I figured sh ewas just waiting to get it so i didn´t say anything. Then naturally a security officer and bus driver were over there in a heartbeat demanding to know who left an abandoned suitcase. clearly more suspect for a bomb or something. oh god it was hilarious. I looked at Steph and was like, did you just not want to get it or something? and she muttered, uh, no, what..uh.... oh god, it may not come across that funny now, but trust me, it was pretty hysterical. a moment of levity in an otherwise horrible situation. But despite the annoyances, we did make it to San Pedro de Atacama.
